Dear Home,

We haven't had a home of our own in a long time. Four years to be precise. We really missed it. We loved our old home and my in laws home (in which we spent the last 4 years), but we have never had a home we love so much as you.
I think the best way to appreciate something is to not have it. FOR A LONG TIME. To crave it, and even cry for it a little. Then when you get it, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it is just thrilling.

So, dear house, we like you.

You are neat. You remind me of the 80's.
(See cabinetry.)

You are quirky.
(see laundry in the garage.)

You overcompensate.
(See 2nd kitchen in the basement.)


You have LOADS of fancy upgrades.
(See outdoor thermometer.)

(AND see STAINLESS STEEL pencil sharpener.)


You have lots of "potential".
(See pretty much everything in the house.)

So to sum it all up House, we love you.
Not for what you are,
but for what we are when we are within you...
a family.
